Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

I'd have to be really bored.. and would have to make sure I had plenty of time to remove it and do it over if I planned on going out later, because that's the type of makeup they do. Also, the lighting in Sephora is horrible so no one knows what they're seeing or talking about. It's annoying.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

Wow, sounds like you have a really lousy store then. I don't think it's fair to generalize, though. I've had my makeup done at more than one store and by more than one person at each place. Sometimes I just let them pick things to use and sometimes (like last week) there are specific things that I want to try. I've always been pleased with the results and I've had my makeup done right before going out to dinner.

My last appointment (a Person Beauty Consultation) with Felicia in Natick, MA, was great. She used the things that I wanted to try and I got specific answers to questions I had. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.

I've had my makeup done at more than one too.. not generalizing, I'm sure there are associates at some stores who are great at makeup. Just not the ones I've encountered. Colorado isn't really the type of place for fashion or makeup though, so I wouldn't really expect much more from this state.

It looks like she's working on Saturday because there are Personal Beauty Consultation appointments available from noon to 3:15. But if anyone books one, she's the one who would handle it, so she might not be generally around. But as I said, I've been very happy with the help that I've had from people there.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

Yeah, Natick is generally my go-to if I'm looking for better service. There's a woman who works in skincare there (forgot her name unfortunately) who is always so helpful and kind. She even ran to the back to grab an item that wasn't on the floor yet, when a different SA said they didn't have it yet.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

No, I have never used my free makeover VIB coupon. Whenever I've had a part of my makeup done in stores it doesn't come out that great and the sales associates seem to not be knowing about what they are doing. Although I don't know if for makeovers you only let makeup artists do it, which would be nicer.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

Yes, if we had a few weeks to redeem it. I enjoy the beauty services and my local favorite is skilled and its fun to work with her. Not many local women get looks done and they get tired of practicing on each other. I'm skilled enough at doing my own makeup but I like to try new things and it's relaxing and fun to get my makeup done.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

I would not. I have had a few of the 'make overs' done in store and would not go out of my way to get another. I think it is a nice idea for some people- especially younger people who are unsure of how to apply make up. But as someone who buys a lot and therefore uses a lot of make up, having someone who is unfamiliar with my preferences/skin type apply is of no use to me.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

I'd say yes, but only if it would be redeemable throughout the year. Nothing exciting happens in my birth month, so getting my make-up done all nice would be a waste. I could really use it around the holidays, or maybe in the summer for the 4th of July.

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

Oh yeah! That would be totally fab! My b-day routine this year is a 90 min massage, then a mani/pedi at my favorite nail salon. Then maybe dinner out. But it would be great to add a makeover in after the mani/pedi for dinner out!

Re: If Sephora offered a complimentary in-store Makeover to celebrate your Birthday, would you go?

Yes, I would definitely go to Sephora to get a complimentary Birthday face makeover. They are always so attentive and helpful as soon as I walk in, give advice on certain products I'm looking for and new ones I haven't tried. Trying something new and fresh is always fun.
